2006/11/7-8 [Recreation/Computer/Games] UID:45214 Activity:nil | 11/7 Next-gen console predictions anyone? I'll start:
PS3s sells out instantly, eBay for around $8-900, remain out of stock
through christmas then just as supply is kicking in, they run out
of people willing to spend $600 on a console. Wii will sell out
initially, but resupply will just barely keep up with demand.
\_ You do realize that there are almost exactly as many ps3s

2006/11/2 [Computer/SW/Languages/Misc, Computer/Theory] UID:45090 Activity:high | 11/02 What is the best way to implement this? I have a queue where jobs
are submitted for processing, and multiple worker threads
asynchronously pull the front job from the queue to process it.
I also have N (N=3)
priority classes. Normally I would just implement this as N FIFO
queues and that would be fine. But wait, there's more! Some jobs

external hard drive? I'd prefer that the backup isn't one huge .bkf
file a directory? Is this possible with the ntbackup.exe that comes
with windows XP.. Also I'd like the software to be a GUI that normal
non-technical people could run. THanks.
\_ Not for windows but if you're running any flavor of Unix, just

2006/4/24-26 [Computer/SW/Languages/Misc] UID:42812 Activity:nil | 4/24 I finally got to scan some of the old photos for archive purpose.
The problem is these scanned photos carry no EXIF data. I want
to add 'Date Picture Taken' information en masse. I tried several
tools that claim to do EXIF batch update but none could batch
insert 'Date Picture Taken' information. Does anyone have any
suggestion for a batch EXIF editor? Thx.

2013/2/19-3/26 [Computer/SW/OS/OsX] UID:54611 Activity:nil | 2/19 I program a lot by sshing to a Linux cluster. So I'm used to using
Xemacs to code. This works fine from a Linux or Windows workstation,
but sometimes I have to use a Mac. On Mac, the meta is usually
bound to option, but that often doesn't work over ssh for some reason.
This makes using emacs a real pain. Any suggestions on how to fix it?
(Other than "use vi")

2012/3/15-6/1 [Computer/SW/Languages, Computer/SW/OS/Windows] UID:54340 Activity:nil | 3/15 Why does MS put double-quotes around the '8' in Windows Server 8, like
the following?
- Windows 8
- Windows Server "8"
\_ Because when they didn't do it, code didn't see the '\0'
and went over? Looks better than '8','\0' *shrug*

when the maximum resolution of my monitor changes? When I
use my laptop, my emacs is too big (and I can't resize it
because the bottom-right corner is not accessible).

the height to be smaller?
